UCL Premier Division
Newport Pagnell Town 2 Yaxley 1
Tuesday, 04 October 2011
The Swans extended their winning run to five games but left it late to maintain the sequence. The Cuckoos defended well at times but the Swans missed various chances throughout the game as well.
Newport took a 13th minute lead through Richard Armstrong in the area when he met a cross with a well placed header.
Shan McBride had a great chance to double the Swans advantage from some Henry type trickery by flicking the ball over and past the head of two players but his volley just shaves the cross bar! What a wonder goal that could have been!
Vinny Shrieves thought he had doubled the Swans advantage when his burst of pace helped him through the two centre defenders, his great finish was ruled off side!
Matt Broomes forced a good save out of the Yaxley keeper then Shan shot wide of the target.
Richard Challinor made Newport pay for their misses when he levelled for the Cuckoos ten minutes before half time from a similar header to Rich Armstrongs earlier in the game.
A rare chance fell to Yaxley when the number 9 but his close range shot was fired over the cross bar!
The second half the Swans pushed the cuckoos back and various chances were missed. Matt Broomes had a close range shot cleared off the line then Vinny headed wide. Shan McBride shot just cleared the cross bar then Richard Armstrong forced a good save out of the Yaxley keeper.
But it was Vinny Shrieves who finally netted the decisive goal for the Swans in the 90th minute when he was quick to react to the ball in a goal mouth scramble to deservedly give the Swans all 3 points!
Newport: Josh McAdoo, Massimo Lagioia, Keith Williams, John Thorpe, Rob Tapp, Liam Smyth, Sean McBride, Richard Armstrong, Vinny Shrieves, Matt Broomes, Scott Mulkern (Lewis Wilson).
